Automotive Testing Expo India 2012 moves to the heart of India’s automotive region.

Launched with massive success earlier this year in Hyderabad, Automotive Testing Expo India will move to Chennai in 2012, one of the main automotive manufacturing regions of India.

The inaugural event in February this year was a tremendous hit with nearly 4000 visitors from India’s car and component manufacturing industry making the journey to Hyderabad to see the very latest automotive test and evaluation technologies.

Now that the organisers have demonstrated the need for an automotive testing show in India, it is the logical decision to move the show into the automotive manufacturing region of Chennai.

With more floor space already sold, Automotive Testing Expo India 2012 will attract senior test, evaluation and quality engineering executives from leading car manufacturers based in the region such as Ashok Leyland, Nissan, Daimler India, Ford India, Hyundai Motor Engineering, Hindustan Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, plus many more.
